Its been a tough road for the Fighting Cock Roaster restaurant on Thorndyke and now it is shut down again. The restaurant got rave reviews for its chicken and sandwiches but it was listed for sale back in January for $60,ooo. No word on whether this closure means that someone purchased the restaurant but there is a lock on the door today.
The restaurant opened in November of 2008 but closed the following March when owner Jon Davis said he needed to restructure. He reopened with an expanded menu last September but then put the restaurant on the market. We took these pictures through the window this afternoon and the kitchen equipment has all been cleared out.
It appears that not much has been left behind. ![]()
Thanks to everyone who wrote us asking what was up. We will let you know if we get any more information about the future of that location.
